| | Waylon Jennings Hangin' Tough CD Waylon Jennings Discography of CDs
(1 Customer Review)
Jennings made his name by flouting Nashville convention in a memorably willful way. Consequently, it's hard to fault him for venturing into seemingly inappropriate musical areas. He's covered everything from "Sweet Caroline" to "MacArthur Park" and gotten away with it on sheer chutzpah. So when this 1987 offering leads off with a very uncountry version of the Gerry Rafferty hit "Baker Street" and finds its way to the dated '70s tune "Chevy Van," you have to allow the man his moods. More importantly, HANGIN' TOUGH features Jennings' stout, unflappable vocal style and some interesting digressions from the usual country format.
Waylon perfectly articulates a unique romantic dilemma in "I Can't Help the Way I Don't Feel About You," emphasizing the irony of the situation. He manages a poignant take on cult hero Jesse Winchester's "Defying Gravity." Perhaps most impressive, though, is the unguarded melancholy so eloquently expressed in the quietly heartbreaking "Crying Don't Even Come Close." HANGIN' TOUGH isn't a definitive Waylon album, but it will reveal it's share of diamonds in the rough to hardcore fans.

1966's BLUESBREAKERS WITH ERIC CLAPTON is full of portent, as some of its participants would become superstars after its release. Future Cream guitarist Eric Clapton was highly rated enough in the UK blues-rock scene to score second billing, but it wasn't until this recording that he'd had the opportunity to truly stretch out in the ...

| | Lyle Lovett Natural Forces CD (2009)
Hangin' Tough music CDs
$12.39 Retreating to generally quieter territory after the somewhat splashy IT'S NOT BIG IT'S LARGE, Lyle Lovett also backs away from original tunes on NATURAL FORCES, choosing to devote the bulk of the 11-track album to other writers. Covers are common for Lovett, but not since 1998's STEP INSIDE THIS HOUSE has he spent so much ...
| | Alan Jackson Let It Be Christmas CD (2002)
Hangin' Tough songs
$9.99 Unlike HONKY TONK CHRISTMAS, Alan Jackson's fine 1993 holiday album, LET IT BE CHRISTMAS sticks exclusively to the chestnuts. Though Jackson has built a career as one of country music's premier good 'ol boy neo-honky tonkers, here he employs heavily orchestrated arrangements more characteristic of Sinatra than Skynyrd. The setting reveals him to be a highly adaptable and technically superior vocalist, and the music is gorgeous. Though longtime fans shouldn't expect Jackson's ...

| | Reba Mcentire Keep On Loving You CD (2009) Enhanced CD
Hangin' Tough CD music
$15.29 KEEP ON LOVING YOU is contemporary country legend Reba McEntire's debut recording on the semi-independent Valory Music Company label's Starstruck imprint. Despite its release on an indie, the production and approach are anything but.. The cream of country music's current chart crop wrote its 13 songs, and it's a radio-friendly collection showcasing McEntire's adaptability. The title track, a midtempo ballad saturated in compressed guitars, Hammond B-3, and a chorus of fiddles, reveals that McEntire is a belter who can hang with the best of them. The set opener (and its first single), "Strange," with its acoustic guitars, mandolin, and fiddle intros, is like something from the backyard until ...

Hangin' Tough songs
$12.79 THE MORNING GLORY RAMBLERS is a jewel in the crown of the formidable discographies of Norman and Nancy Blake. Though the two have enjoyed an ongoing personal and professional relationship since the 1970s, their duo records are few and far between, which makes this outing all the more enjoyable. Norman participated in the O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? soundtrack, and both Norman and Nancy performed in the attendant DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN tours. Not surprisingly, the revitalized ...

| | Derailers Retrospective: Just One More Time CD (2006)
Hangin' Tough music CDs
$11.49 Unabashedly retro, Austin-bred quartet the Derailers blend classic honky tonk with roots rock & roll in a way that's difficult to resist (and why would anyone want to?). RETROSPECTIVE: JUST ONE MORE TIME spans the band's output from 1995 through 2003, including mostly original material and a few oddball covers. While there is a certain contemporary sheen to the Derailers' sound--the band would be just as at home in a hipster bar in Brooklyn as they would in a Bakersfield saloon--they are never too cheeky, and their fun, rollicking music hits the pleasure button every time. At 17 tracks, RETROSPECTIVE is a generous, nicely assembled introduction to these Buck Owens-loving rockers.
